Meryl Erasmus 

Meryl Erasmus grew up in KZN, South Africa, barefoot, happy and spending most of her time creating. She paints in acrylics and oils but enjoys playing with watercolours and inks.

She trained as a chef and worked in the industry for most of her life.

 

In 2008 she felt the desire to paint. Reconnecting with the child inside her, she lets her paintings lead her and finds places and her own experiences appearing in them. Her process is not to always start with a picture, but for her paintings to evolve into one.

She enjoys colour and she brings that into her paintings, sometimes in a dreamy surreal way, and not always true to life.

 

Her main purpose is to bring natural, unspoilt African nature, peace and beauty into people’s homes.
